"Smile, the Worst is Yet to Come"

Good ballads don't grow on trees. That premise is exactly why I always make a point to give a listen to new releases from Mikky Ekko. I'm not sure why, but his vocals remind me of a modern day Paul McCartney. The Beatles vibe is completely apparent on his new track Smile. The cautionary tale Mikky weaves has such a positive vibe, yet it forecasts the inevitable downfall. The tension between the two results in an interesting ballad that I still haven't fully wrapped my head around. No word yet on whether or not this will surface on an album, but if it does, color me excited...#Smile
